What cars did the 3.46 LSD come in?

[Lof8]

3.25s don't seem to be super common either.

[Gruelius]

are 3.46 gears worth much? theres plenty of them here.

Ok thanks, so it's not compatible then? Oh well, the search continues.

If you took the guts out and installed them in the proper E30 case then they would work but honestly that's more work than it's worth.

[ACHTUNG]

The Euro Depot just quoted me $495 for a 3.46 LSD.

And there's a guy that has a feeler for a small case 3.45 LSD that has zero miles on it. He's looking to get $550 shipped.

E36 have different style mounting and is smaller than a medium case or large case diff.

I got my 3.46LSD out of a E24 5spd. I also have a 3.25LSD from a 84 533i 5spd.

Scouring Craigslist I found a "supposed" 3.46 LSD that came out an e36 318is. Did the 3.46 LSD come out of the e36 too?

E28 535is AUTO-TRAGICS are also blessed with 3.46 slips. My schnitzer 3.7L M30 powered E30 had a 3.25 and it was nice on the highway but i think a 3.46 would have been better. Honestly, BMW first gears are so low you are going to have traction problems no matter what rear gear you choose if you have some HP. I couldnt even put 2/3rds throttle on the ground in first with mine.

I have an S50 sitting that is go in front of a 260, and I have a 3.46 sitting.

I expect to have news about it this year...

Behind a 0.81 getrag 260 It might not be the best combo but 5th gear cruising will be great on fuel.

Same issue here, 1st gear is practically useless. Im hitting 5k RPM's at 90mph on 5th gear, haha...but boy that engines sounds so nice! I got a 3.46 lsd sitting at home that will probably get installed soon.

What rear end do you have?

[Lof8]

3.25 lsd isn't bad and is more common than a 3.46.

Hmm, have you used a 3.25 in a swapped car with a G260? Whats the cruising rpm at about 80mph?

Edit: Nevermind, some seraching leads me to believe that a 3.25 will work well for me.

Let me know if you decide against installing it.;)
